The only things I skip entirely are poems and songs, when more than a line or two is quoted.
I skim recaps (when it's a series that's been out for a while and I've just found it, so I'm reading the books in close succession instead of a book a year), lengthy descriptions of places, many battles/long fights (that depends on the book and the author though), and sex scenes. I'd like to skip most of those entirely but have to do with skimming just to see where they end and I can start reading again, and also sometimes there's some important/new information in those bits anyway.
